California’s AI Safety Bill: Robo-Cop or Paper Tiger?
In the land of eternal sunshine and wildfires, California is also cooking up an AI safety bill beefed up enough to maybe impress a tech giant but not scare them off. Advocates tout it as ‘better equipped’ to pass than earlier legislative attempts, with backers pointing to updated frameworks aimed at neither Elon Musk-level paranoia nor Zuckerberg-esque complacency. The bill’s timeline, quietly marinating through equity debates since early 2024, aims to slap some accountability on AI developments—because nothing screams ‘progress’ like bureaucratic slow motion. Lawmakers promise it won’t turn a Silicon Valley party into the next Terminator movie (yet).
